U+A6E8 Bamum Letter Tet

U+A6E8 was added in Unicode version 5.2 in 2009. It belongs to the block U+A6A0 to U+A6FF Bamum in the U+0000 to U+FFFF Basic Multilingual Plane.

This character is a Letter Number and is mainly used in the Bamum script. The codepoint has the numeric value 3.

The glyph is not a composition. It has no designated width in East Asian texts. In bidirectional text it is written from left to right. When changing direction it is not mirrored. The word that U+A6E8 forms with similar adjacent characters prevents a line break inside it.

The Wikipedia has the following information about this codepoint:

The Bamum scripts are an evolutionary series of six scripts created for the Bamum language by Ibrahim Njoya, King of Bamum (now western Cameroon). They are notable for evolving from a pictographic system to a semi-syllabary in the space of fourteen years, from 1896 to 1910. Bamum type was cast in 1918, but the script fell into disuse around 1931. A project began around 2007 to revive the Bamum script.
